Love of the Common People

Living on free food tickets Water in the milk from the hole in the roof Where the rain came through What can you do? Oh hoo hoo Tears for the little sister Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch For the party to go Oh but she'll know she'll get by Because she's living in the love of the common people Smiles in the heart of the family man Her Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to And her Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can She can It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare It'd fall through the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it In the snow on the ground Walking to town, honey child You try to keep your hands warm But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through And it chills you to the bone Oh you'd better go home, where it's warm And you will live in the love of the common people Smiles in the heart of a family man Your Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to And your Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can She can You know that living on dreams ain't easy But the closer the knit the tighter the fit And the chills stay away Oh you take 'em in stride, the family pride You know that faith is your foundation With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation And of course there's prayer Making you strong, where you belong And you will live in the love of the common people Smiles in the heart of the family man Your Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to And your Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can She can Oh, yeah you're living in the love of the common people Smiles in the heart of a family man Your Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to And your Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
